Did anyone see the Ponce De Leon fight a few days ago ?

[p4pking]

I watched this one as well after the Mayweather Cotto fight, was bored of rewatching that I guess. Ponce did look really good but I'd never seen Lazcano other than that and all he really showed was a hell of a chin in fairness. It might be a bit like Malignaggi stopping that Ukranian fellow, or Ricky Hatton boxing well against Urango etc. At the time you want to think they have that extra dimension but it's really just as much a case of their opponent letting them fight that way.

I agree De Leon is certainly worthy of a title shot or a Broner rematch; but I don't think he'd have much of a chance to win that one, and I know the first one could've gone his way.

Urango was far better than Lazcano.

But, Lazcano couldn't have gotten to 22-2 without being somewhat decent, Bob Sheridan said before the fight the guy's only losses were close decisions to other undefeated fighters.
